Some days are just harder than others, that is simply the ebb and flow of life. Yesterday was one of those days for me . Nothing bad happened, no particular reason, just one of those days. I’m tired, and that I’m sure adds to the blah. I’m mostly over this cold, but still coughing, especially when I lie down. I’m trying not to continuously medicate, so the cough keeps me up at night.
The only thing I wanted to do after work last night was go home, wrap myself up and be oblivious. So of course, I went to Kung Fu class. Definitely the right decision, and I’m better for it in so many ways. The Kwoon itself, and the people within ground me. Class was difficult, we are learning a new form, and reviewing some grappling. Unfortunately I’m still physically challenged with my knee, and still recovering. Maybe because of my mood, I pushed harder, went deeper in stances, and didn’t break as often as I have been. I was pretty limited with grappling (my apologies to my partner Sihing M Ward, as it limits you too), but attempted what I could. My knee swelled up pretty good like it did after the first couple of weeks after surgery. But it felt good to push limits.
Today I feel better, not because I got more sleep, but because I am more grounded. I’m grateful that I have Kung Fu, as it helps me to make good decisions, and better myself.

Injuries are challenging, but also provide opportunities to make adjustments and learn. My norm is do this but don’t do that, which can restrict my partner while also helping them to be more aware and learn. Even though it’s not ideal we both can benefit.
